Do yoga in India

“In the first few days we had neither hot water nor a refrigerator. If I wanted to shower after the 5AM yoga practice, I had to boil a pot of water on a hot plate then add it to the cold tap water. At night my body was a buffet for mosquitos – I would awake in the night to a buzzing sound in my ear and pull the cover over my head in misery, sweating and itchy. I contemplated leaving every hour during those first days. [...] Why was I torturing myself with 5AM yoga practice and a day full of classes? This was supposed to be something of a vacation, after all.”

“This was similar to my experience also. No music, a lot more adjustment, more concentration on meditation. And it was everyone, from the oldest to the youngest. At one point I was the only not Indian person in the class, and they it was done in Sanskrit. The teacher had me in a certain spot so they could help me more easily but no one spoke English for me”
